“I’m leaving with a lot of love and respect for the Bengals and their fan base. It’s a great fan base,” Still said Saturday afternoon after they cut their roster to 53 players. “Everyone did so much to help me get through last season with my daughter’s sickness.”
Still and his five-year-old daughter Leah became national figures last season when he continued to play even though Leah was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer during spring practices. While making a commitment to shed light on pediatric cancer, Still went from the practice squad to the roster and played in 10 games while visiting his daughter in Philadelphia every off day.
